T. had a nervous stomach the first couple of days in the new place, but at last report he had adjusted very well. A. evidently was fine from the get-go, and he was the one I was more concerned about. <BR/><BR/>The only slight glitch we've encountered is that one well-intentioned mom wanted the bedroom decorated so that the boys had the same bedclothes. IIRC, she's worked as an interior decorator, so I can understand where she's coming from. <BR/><BR/>However, I've always made a deal of my kids having their own identities (guess who grew up in an overly conformist household), and it seems to be important to A. to have his own, different, stuff from what T has. So we demurred on the other mom's suggestion. The result is that the two boys on the other side of the bedroom are nicely coordinated in red, white, and blue, while T. has a Superman theme and A. a SpongeBob one. I took each boy to WalMart and ran him past the bedding, then bought the bedding set he seemed to prefer.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225554333698783398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468251.post-17784647938040267312007-08-12T01:00:00.000-05:002007-08-12T01:00:00.000-05:00The description of the new mini-group home is wond...The description of the new mini-group home is wonderful, Randy.
